The Bogey Hole was constructed by order of Commandant Morisset in about 1820 for his own personal use and was originally known as the “Commandant’s Baths”. Morisset was Commandant of Newcastle from 1819 to 1822. The name “Bogey Hole” was applied afterwards and comes from the Aboriginal word meaning “to bathe”.

Pretty cool picture. I am learning how to take similar pics, but I haven’t quite mastered it yet.
Many a memory here when I was growing up…I love the ‘motion’ of the water… still to master that…
Congratulations Mark on winning the Newcastle NSW, Lake Macquarie & Surrounding Regions Christmas Challenge with this beautiful image of the historic Bogey Hole.
